Who's Using Gitcoin?

"

Once we had merged in multiple language support from a bounty, it unblocked the path to all other translations, and what better way to get lots of dif erent translations than with bounties from our community? A single tweet of publicity and we had something like 20 language requests, and 10 language pull requests. It’s been total magic.

​By design or not, there is an element of trust inherent within Gitcoin. This isn’t the bad kind of “trust” that we are all trying to move away from in a centralized world, but a much better sense of community trust that gets established through the bounty process.

uPort is still in the process of Open Sourcing all of our code, so Gitcoin at the present moment, helps uPort plant seeds within the growing Ethereum developer community, that we expect will blossom into flourishing opportunities in the future. Put simply, as opposed to running marketing campaign, we can use bounties to stay present in front of potential developers we want to engage with.
